Greetings and happy DLC day! The fine folks at the Road to 56 bar and grill have been working tirelessly to make the mod work with Man the Guns and the 1.6 update. Of course, by 'work' we mean, "Not explode at launch." Mission accomplished!

That being said, this is just an initial patch. We cleared a couple thousand (!!!) bugs and there are, quite unfortunately, around a thousand or so left. That includes logged errors, content conflicts, and seizure-inducing moments of historical inaccuracy. If the numbers involved seem ridiculous, well, they absolutely are. SpicyAlfredo, Thinking_Waffle and yours truly shaved off an unrecoverable portion of the best weeks of our lives trying to get this thing to work. (Free cupcakes of appreciation are always welcome!)

We will be patching quite a bit this month now that the full team is available to work on the mod. For the time being our regular monthly schedule is suspended while we try to get everything running smoothly again. Thank you for your patience and for the time being, expect some chaos and hilariously frustrating moments in your modxperience. If the stress gets to be too much and you need an understanding and kind soul to listen, you can find us on Reddit or Discord[discord.gg]. Additionally, if sending us cupcakes is too complicated you can enable us to buy our own! Patreon[www.patreon.com].

As always, with love, respect and awkward bro hugs,

-Gxp


Tldr

• Yes, there is an old version of the mod on Steam for those of you that don't want to use 1.6.
  
• SpicyAlfredo is in post-patch recovery. Please send flowers.

Hello! We've got a whole mess of fixes for you this month. Loads of them. A veritable avalanche of tiny tweaks and long-standing annoyances resolved. There's also a bit of new content, but overall the main effort was given over to making the mod run better and fly right.

In part this is due to the oncoming hulk of Man the Guns finally approaching, soon to be unleashed by some very mad and manly Swedes. As you can imagine this event will play hell with mods both big and small, but mostly the big ones like 56. To that end we have been slowly preparing and as of this patch the full team is now dedicated to compatibility. Our main dudes on the case are Thinking_Waffle, Spicy Alfredo, and Greatexperiment.

We're making surethe game doesn't explode or immediately crash to desktop, which is something at least 9 out of 10 players agree is a very good thing. Beyond that we're debugging the hell out of the rest and praying to the Giant Baseball-Cap Wearing Mantis God that it all works out. It definitely will. Probably.

As always you can find us on Reddit or Discord[discord.gg]. If you want to. Additionally, did you know that you can throw money at us? It's true. If you enjoy making it rain currency units on the unsuspecting heads of modders, there's always Patreon[www.patreon.com].

Remember, no matter happens between us - no matter the difficulties or hardships - you're totally awesomely beautiful, and also - if you steal the last of my ice cream I will mercilessly seek revenge.

Oh, it's you. I'm glad that we've met again, and it seems that we've survived another year somehow, despite there being far too much debauchery and alcohol this December. However, it was a near thing - and most of the team was in some sort of food coma for a lot of the month. So, our patch is patchy at best, but full of heart. True Road to 56 veterans know that the power of friendship is what's truly important. (with a few bracket errors thrown in)

Also, did you know the mod is now two years old? That's ancient for a mod. Not only that - but apparently we're the most popular lady at the dance! Honestly, it's a complete surprise to everyone. For a second year in a row we're doing really well, and for a second year in a row I must look the development team squarely in the face and solemnly say, "I'm sorry."

Maybe the entire 56 team has a special circle of hell reserved for us, or perhaps we simply had too much coffee. Life is full of mysteries - but regardless of any details...

Thank you to everyone, all of you, for being with us on this journey. We love you unconditionally, and with all of our hearts. Don't forget us, and be sure to visit us in purgatory.

...or Reddit. Maybe Discord[discord.gg] too. Whatever you have bus fare for?

Welcome to yet another edition of the Patch Show, now available on your favorite Public Access channel right after "The Great Tibetan Bake-Off" and "Cats Vs. Dinosaurs: Let there be Fur".

This episode contains all sorts of goodies, but overall focuses very heavily on tweaks and fixes. We've got some interesting new stuff in the generic tree thanks to Narzgel! Beyond that there's an absolute feast of fixes and smaller additions to really add flavor to your HOI experience. As always, please check the notes below for the full and uncensored details.

We've got some very large and exciting updates coming later on. Rumor has it that the Soviets and Austria might be getting some love, and maybe - gasp! - an achievement system? Also, it turns out that The Road to 56 is having a birthday soon. We'll be two years old on the 17th. There will be a party at my place, but admittedly you'd have to spot for a flight and byoc (bring your own cupcakes). If that's not your cup of tea, then please be sure to join us for a dance competition on our Discord[discord.gg] instead.

If you'd like to gift us a nice present for our upcoming shenanigans, please check out our Patreon[www.patreon.com]! As always, we are grateful and humbled by the support of our community and will keep doing our best to bring you meaty content updates.

With love and best wishes,

Hello!

It's that time again. No, not for checking to see if the Hellmouth has finally opened again - it's a new patch! The team has thrown together yet another collection of oddities for your personal amusement and confusion.

We've got a nice new situation with Greece, very classy. On top of that, the frequently ignored commoners of your realm may now very pointedly voice their displeasure with your (probably) benevolent guiding hand. Thankfully there are ways of dealing with that, and some of the options don't involve brutal repression. That's always nice.

In additon there's the usual array of fixes, tweaks, and eldritch horrors. (Apologies to Great Britain and its once mighty empire)


There's this whole Patreon[www.patreon.com] thing we've just launched. Basically, we'd love to spend more time modding - but we all have bills to pay and Abominable Ice Zombies to fight. If you feel like we should focus more on making mods and less on resisting the undead hordes, feel free to support us!

It's very important to note however that we are not accepting any bribes in exchange for content or certain features. Our mod consists of work from many people, and if there's a particular piece of content you like - we would very much like to direct you to the person that deserves your funds. So please let us know, and we'll point you in the right direction.

If you have questions regarding any of this, please let us know on our Discord[discord.gg] or PM one of our Leads. Also, if you happen to see the Patreon as a blight on humanity and an insult to the proper order of the galaxy, then go ahead and let me know. The rest of the team consists of very nice people, and I don't want them to be sad. :)

Our next beta will be on the 1st as usual, and then another patch on the 7th!

As always, best wishes.

Salutations and Salut!~

It's that time again. No, the Martians aren't invading. It's another patch from your favorite band of misfits and miscreants. As you might have noticed, the patch was delayed due to a Series of Unfortunate Events. (my laptop exploded and I was also fighting raccoons) Hopefully the wait wasn't too painful for everyone? Going forward you can expect us to return to the regular schedule of publishing a Beta on the 1st, and releasing on the 7th! (Unless the Martians really do show up, then perhaps it will be delayed a few days. Maybe.)

This is one of our largest updates and includes six new focus trees, somehow. I'm in charge of this craziness and even I'm feeling pretty amazed these days. We have fantastic contributors and a lot of dedicated modders, and really they deserve lots of free hugs and high fives. As usual there is also a whole raft of tweaks, bug fixes, and other assorted shenanigans.

In other news, the rebooted Infantry Tree is nearly done! It's been slow progress, but worth it. I'll be doing a post about that fairly soon, along with some comments on our just completed mega-survey. Thanks to everyone that participated. We received a lot of feedback which was equal parts helpful, enlightening, and bizarre. Finally, the dreaded and possibly apocalyptic moment of our Patreon will be happening this month. When that happens there will be a lot of information about what it is, what it is for, and most importantly - how much poetry I'll be writing for that $1 donation.

As always, it's been a pleasure. Thank you for the support, kindness, rage comments, and awkward memes. Life wouldn't be as exciting without you. Remember: If you feel down, as much as you might not think you can - keep trying anyway. You'll be fine. If nothing else, the Road to 56 team is here to give you another patch. :)
